The Cyrus Park Speech. Where?

Post by The King Of Pop »

Howdy folks. You know I have been really curious as to where the Cyrus park speech took place. Was it filmed at an actual park in New York? Or was it simply a Hollywood set? does anybody have the answer to this? I appoligize if this question has been asked and anwered by somebody else in the past. Happy trails.

Watch the Director's Cut Featurettes. It was filmed in Riverside Park.

i am not sure where it is - i was there before but it looks small to me. there is no stairway or ramps like in the movie, so this is located at the southern part of Riverside Park near 79th St.. check out the pics in the link and tell me if this is the right location where Cyrus got shot?

You've got it all wrong. The exact location is on 97th Street and Riverside Drive. There is only two trains on that direction: No. 1 & 9. It is assumed to be Van Cortland Park, where the forementioned trains make their last stop on the Uptowan route. It has not changed much. The platform where Cyrus made the speed it is not there anymore. It was a children's climbing ladder.

I'd imagine that will be the location to kick things off in 2009.
